    • Prince of Muck - Feature documentary, 2021, 75 minutes (NL/UK) Lawrence MacEwen has farmed the Isle of Muck since the late 1960s. With his family he has created a rural retreat, perhaps out of time with the rapid transformations of the world around it. Revered for his eco conscious stewardship in the 1970s, Lawrence now finds himself stubbornly battling to preserve his vision of the island for the next generation. Dutch filmmaker Cindy Jansen captures a uniquely cinematic portrait of a place and a person haunted by the past and struggling to maintain their relevance for the future. www.cindyjansenfilm.com
    Auld Lang Syne - Documentary, 2015, USA/NL, 48 min A portrait of two American brothers who start out being close and very similar, but end up on opposite ends of the social spectrum. 

 The calm, loving film subtly makes you ponder life\'s choices and the accompanying expectations. 
 Filmmaker Cindy Jansen met John Lawson in Paris shortly before he died in 2009. The story of the love for his brother Alan, a life of partying, and ultimately alcoholism and lies convinced her to look up his brother, who made a career for himself as a professor at Brown University in Boston. 

 The thread of the film lies in the audio recordings of John that were made in Paris in 2008. His voice-over alternates with images of Alan in his daily surroundings, films from the family’s archive and images and places John spoke about.
